Then there is Game 3 OT. That isn’t considered coming through when needed most I guess by those with a single digit IQ.

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:20:00 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=10946#comment-253285Just did a quick run-through of last night’s game (I work evenings). After seeing a lot of LA, I don’t think it’s luck. They are a force on defense. And they play a pretty dirty game, to boot. But mainly, they’re really good when they are *ABLE* to stick to their game plan. There’s the rub – getting them out of their comfort zone. And as we know, they have come back from a number of 2 goal deficits. Irony with the Sharks is that we came back from deficits v LA in the games we won. At least one game, if I remember correctly (always a problem).

You can not like the guy all you want, but you can’t deny his productivity in the scoresheet.

Kings down 2-0 tonight and fight their way back and never give up. What I would give to have that kind of fight and leadership on the Sharks.

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 02:56:00 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/sharks/?p=10946#comment-253252Liked Ratto’s new article on CSNBayarea.com. Pretty much agree with all of it, either Thornton leaves his ego at the door & steps aside to let the newer guard take over, or there has to be an alternative…i.e. he submits a list of teams…

It’s a distinct possibility that taking the C off his chest would relieve him of some pressure & allow him to just play & re-define his game. If they can keep his production on the team & tweak his play, that’s a good thing.

If not & they can get a good return in a trade… The team’s gotta do what they’ve gotta do, & yep, Marleau will probably be kept.
